Encourage sportswomen

With the Pakistan women’s cricket team qualifying for the International Cricket Council’s Women’s World Cup in Colombo, Sri Lanka on Sunday, a new hope that talented sportswomen in the country will be encouraged to perform in national and international events has been kindled in the country. Though it was a mixed show put up at the qualifiers by Captain Sana Mir’s charges, who unfortunately have yet to break the Indian jinx, the players still managed to do well by beating Bangladesh, Scotland and Ireland thanks to handsome contributions from Javeria Khan, Naheeda Khan, Ayesha Zafar and the skipper herself.
